“Economic D-Day” – that’s how President Trump described his
latest strategy in the Iran War. He’s promising to starve the
country’s economy. A lot may rely on whether other countries play
ball, especially China.

Trump isn’t just going after Iran. He’s pushed us into a new
tariff war with Canada, and our polite neighbor to the north is
in no mood to cave.

We’ll talk about the pros and cons of economic warfare, how to
know if policies like this will help or hurt Americans, and
whether this will sway voters’ choices this fall.

Also, Flock cameras are a sleeper issue in these upcoming
midterms. They’re AI-powered and used by police to tackle crime,
but some communities hate their surveillance power.

And we remember the late Dolly Parton, a talented musician with
unique appeal to audiences all over the political spectrum.
